A collection of 21,559 highly precise spectroscopic line positions from pure rotational and vibration-rotational spectra for seven isotopomers of carbon monoxide in the X1sigma+ ground electronic state has been employed in direct least-squares fits of the rovibrational Hamiltonian operator obtained from Watson's work [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 80, 411 (1980)] and that obtained by Herman and Ogilvie [Adv. Chem. Phys 103, 187 (1998)]. Fully analytical models are used for the various functions, including the Born-Oppenheimer internuclear potential function, and an account is taken of breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The resulting representations are more compact than currently available traditional Ukl/deltakl extended Dunham descriptions, and they generate quantum-mechanical eigenvalues that reproduce reliably the spectroscopic line positions to within the associated measurement uncertainties. Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory has been used to calculate highly accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants Bupsilon-Oupsilon for nine isotopomers of carbon monoxide. These constants are just as successful at reconstructing the observed spectroscopic information as the quantum-mechanical eigenvalues of the fitted Hamiltonian operators.

The spectrum of carbon monoxide is important for astrophysical media, such as planetary atmospheres, interstellar space, exoplanetary and stellar atmospheres; it also important in plasma physics, laser physics and combustion. Interpreting its spectral signature requires a deep and thorough understanding of its absorption and emission properties. A new accurate spectroscopic model for the ground and electronically-excited states of the CO molecule computed at the aug-cc-pV5Z CASSCF/MRCI+Q level is reported.

High-level multireference configuration interaction plus Davidson correction (MRCI + Q) calculation method was employed to determine the potential energy curves (PECs) of 10 Λ-S states, which come from the first and second dissociation channels of the SbP molecule, as well as 34 Ω states considering the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect. By solving the Schrödinger equation for nuclear motion, spectroscopic constants for the ground state XΣ and low-lying excited states were obtained and compared with experimental data. The excellent agreement indicates the reliability of our calculations.

Quantum computation and simulation rely on long-lived qubits with controllable interactions. Trapped polar molecules have been proposed as a promising quantum computing platform, offering scalability and single-particle addressability while still leveraging inherent complexity and strong couplings of molecules. Recent progress in the single quantum state preparation and coherence of the hyperfine-rotational states of individually trapped molecules allows them to serve as promising qubits, with intermolecular dipolar interactions creating entanglement.

The merging of the electronic structure calculations and crossed beam experiments expose the reaction dynamics in the tin (Sn, P) - molecular oxygen (O, XΣ-g) system yielding tin monoxide (SnO, XΣ) along with ground state atomic oxygen O(P). The reaction can be initiated on the triplet and singlet surfaces addition of tin to the oxygen atom leading to linear, bent, and/or triangular reaction intermediates. On both the triplet and singlet surfaces, formation of the tin dioxide structure is required prior to unimolecular decomposition to SnO(XΣ) and O(P).

Accurate potential energy and electric dipole moment functions of the CO molecule in its ground electronic state XΣ have been obtained using the single-reference coupled-cluster approach, up to the CCSDTQP level of approximation, in conjunction with the augmented core-valence correlation-consistent basis sets, aug-cc-pCVZ, up to octuple-zeta quality. The scalar relativistic, adiabatic, and nonadiabatic effects were discussed. The ab initio predicted functions were compared with their experimentally derived counterparts.
